Bug#807343: RM: ghc [armel] -- ROM; Not supported on armel any more
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,
with GHC-7.10.3, upstream dropped suppot for old ARM chipsets, such as
our armel architecture (armhf is fine). It is not the case that anyone
steps up to un-break this, so we’ll just have to remove Haskell
from armel. See also
https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2015/11/msg00010.html and
https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2015/12/msg00020.html
This will also solve #807020 trivially.
I tried to conjure a complete set of packages to remove using "dak rm",
but there are far too many false positives, e.g. arch-all-only sources
that build-depend on packages like shellcheck. I hope you have better
tools at your hand to calculate the set of reverse dependencies of ghc
on armel that also need to be removed.
Thanks,
Joachim
